That used to be accurate -- but NetworkManager now also handles system-wide network setup. Anaconda and system-config-network both default to setting up NetworkManager connections, which if marked "Connect automatically", will be configured at boot (before login) if connectivity is present.
Really? It always asks me for a gnome-keyring passphrase after I've logged in and before it connects. If you can tell me how to get this 'Connect automatically' I'd be extremely interested

I would also love to know how to make NM connect system wide for a wireless connection - I tried this on one laptop following some advice on editing the config files to add an additional parameter -
The advice I saw was: "Edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf, and add ",keyfile" to the end of the "plugins=" line. Then 'killall -TERM nm-system-settings', and you should be able to make system-wide connections in the connection editor just by checking the "Make available to all users" checkbox."
But it did not work.....
Anyone know how to really make it work in a fully up to date F10 system? Here I am thinking of a wireless connection to an AP using WPA2...
